Methodology

In a former post for my diploma description I had a quite fuzzy methodology. The only sure thing was that I was intent to see the theme in a holistic approach within always the limits of time.
Re-writing the diploma description has helped me a lot to clarify my methodology and my goals.

"Methodologically speaking, I have chosen to work with observations, mapping and categorizations.

Observations will be take part during the whole semester with the use of

- existent bibliography on design product history and morphology

- popular journalistic articles

- web research on blogs, forums and websites

- a workshop with design students

-a study trip to Disneyland

- trips to National Kunstindustrimuseet and Norsk Folkemuseet (OBOS-gården)

The categorization will be based on form, color, material, proportions, names and context.

The mapping will consist the development of pedomorphosis in possible fields of design and the possible questions that pedomorphosis can arise within these fields. "
